Programs
Pastoral counseling- in an era where emotional well-being and spiritual stability are more vital than ever, the availability of robust pastoral counseling services stands as a beacon of hope for many individuals, families, and communities. Recognizing the pressing need for accessible, empathetic guidance and normal healthy discipleship, our organization offers a remarkable commitment: more than 100 hours every week of free pastoral counseling, alongside an additional 70 hours weekly of counseling available at a significantly reduced rate. This unprecedented access is designed to break down barriers, foster resilience, and to partner with and equip struggling and striving people to more fully enjoy god, themselves and others. Pastoral counseling is a unique form of support that integrates theology, spiritual guidance, and the principles of counseling psychology.
$302,031 spent100% of program spendingMarketing and social media- plumbline ministries, inc. Is a beacon of compassion, hope, and tangible support for those in need within our community. To extend our reach and care for even more individuals, it is essential that we elevate our marketing and social media presence. A well-crafted, multi-faceted strategy will not only increase awareness of our mission, but also foster deeper engagement, attract new supporters and volunteers, and ultimately enable us to expand our programs and services. Every effective outreach campaign begins with a compelling story. Plumbline ministries is defined by its commitment to compassion, faith, and transformative service. To resonate with a broader audience, we must clarify our mission and core values, develop a storytelling guide and create a unified visual identity.
Training- the soul care training program is thoughtfully structured into six independent semesters, forming a comprehensive two-year pathway. Each semester stands alone, allowing participants to engage with the content in any order, yet together they create a holistic journey toward well-being. The core aim of this program is to equip individuals with the insight and practical tools needed to care for their own soul as well as the souls of others. Through this process, participants grow in self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the ability to foster healthy, compassionate relationships both personally and within their communities. In todays fast-paced and ever-changing world, the need for personal growth, emotional intelligence, and creative outlets is more vital than ever. Recognizing this, our center is proud to announce an expanded roster of engaging, transformative 10-week classes and short-term workshops.
Grants and fundraising- as organizations evolve, the need for diversified and robust fundraising strategies becomes increasingly vital. Traditional fundraising methodssuch as individual donations, events, and corporate sponsorshipsform the backbone of most development programs. However, to build lasting impact and resilience, it is crucial to expand our approach. One of the most promising avenues for growth is the pursuit and integration of grants into our fundraising process. Plumbline is working to expand our fundraising activities to include a special focus on leveraging grants as a key resource for our mission.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $84k to $140k (+67%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 57%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of PLUMBLINE MINISTRIES INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $858 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
